Abstract Lightweight metamaterials with negative Poisson’s ratios (NPRs) have great potential for controlling
deformation, absorbing energy, etc. The topology optimization [1] technique is an effective way to design
metamaterials. However, as studied in [2], the NPR metamaterial configuration obtained under small
deformation assumption may not maintain the desired Poisson’s ratio under relatively large deformation
conditions. This paper focuses on the large-deformation NPR metamaterial design based on a gradient-free
topology optimization method, i.e. the material-field series expansion (MFSE) method [3]. The
metamaterial’s performance is evaluated using the finite element method, taking into account the geometry
nonlinearity. By… More >
